If you look, Rose certainly hasn't go a clean sheet. But he's hidden that incredibly well.
Harden takes photo's with strippers and hits up pornstars on twitter.

By RBK Go To PostHas a minimal impact, if any.Ok so harden is just a shit lord and everyone hates him cause houston is a shithole.
On the plus side, the only NBA cities I can imagine having better strip clubs than Houston would be ATL/Miami, so there's a good chance Harden doesn't leave once he's a free agent again.

Rumbles that Toronto will sound out Monty to see if he'd have any interest in joining Dwane Casey's staff with Raps making changes on bench
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
Yet it's far more likely, of course, that Monty Williams waits for next HC opportunity, perhaps getting in mix with either Denver or Orlando
lol Monty in Orlando, haven't they suffered enough?
By jjasper Go To PostSomeone tell me that there is a realistic option for a 3&D SF late in the first round.
Justin Anderson seems to fit that mold.
But he's from Virginia's fuckball so I didn't actually watch him much at all, just going by the stats and scouting reports.

So what you are saying is that he will fit right in

Donovan is on the local radio interview circuit this morning. Not much news to report (half because our local media asks terrible questions, half because Donovan has learned the Presti way of speaking only in buzzwords).
He's apparently had face to face meetings with every player except Adams (because Steve's in New Zealand atm). Wouldn't confirm the reports that he's bringing Anthony Grant with him from Florida.
By KingGondo Go To PostWhat, Uncle Jeff not scratching that itch? :P
I am pretty sure Jeff Green is dead on the inside and now a soulless body that just walks around.
By DY_nasty Go To PostKobe's marketing fell off a cliff after the rape stuff. People forget he was tied in with McDonalds, Sprite, phone stuff, etc. He was everywhere - but he was also looked at like the 2nd coming of MJ at the time and he was in a massive market on top of nailing every interview/appearance/cameo.People forget this. Kobe's marketing was insane 2001-2004. Every sports commercial break had him. At the time, Kobe was also considered the humble underdog (grew up mostly overseas, drafted relatively late, etc) and of course didn't hurt he played for the title winning Lakers.
Another thing is that Reggie and Ray weren't crossing the fuck out of people.
Kobe was voted an all-star starter when he was still coming off the bench for Eddie Jones (who was also an all-star that year!). That's fucking nuts. Kobe was basically what Peyton Manning was a few years ago marketing wise.
Regarding Harden, I do think the way he plays matters, among other things. I know this will sound silly, but I know plenty of casual fans that are female that cannot stand his beard. I wonder if the beard is off-putting if you're not a Rockets fan (of course I don't care). If it is, then I wonder if Davis will hurt from the brow. His style of play rubs people off the wrong way. His lazy defense last year had to have hurt people's perception of him. He plays with Dwight Howard, someone I'd argue most people no longer like at all. That also has to hurt. The jerseys suck, as giri pointed out. And finally, the Rockets are the most boring team to watch in the NBA. Are casual fans watching them? My guess is no.
I'm not trying to knock Harden, I'm just musing about why his jersey might not be so popular.
There was this piece on SportCenter, where they asked a bunch of kids who should be the MVP and Harden was voted against because they found his beard scary lol

By pilonv1 Go To Postlol Monty in Orlando, haven't they suffered enough?Yes but Toronto has not.
By db Go To PostHarden would have a great time in Portland, they love beards and he loves strippers.Does Portland have these kind of strippers?
If not, we're fine.

He would live in Casa Diablo, if he hasn't been there already.
Joel Embiid's first question to Myles Turner when he interviewed him: "Why didn't you go to Kansas." #sixers
I fucking love this guy, omg. I need to see this interview.
Embiid has the needed personality to be a star....just got to get those cyborg legs.

Interviews at NBA combine: bizarre. Hawks give players riddle: Bat & ball cost $1.10, bat costs $1 more than ball. How much does ball cost?
Why is this bizarre? Brain teasers are a great way to gauge someone's mental makeup.
The dude who yells out 10 cents is the type of dude who doesn't think before he speaks, and thus is a moron.

X + (1+X) = $1.10.
The Wolves ask dudes like how many pennies are in a dollar. Pre-draft interviews sound like the dumbest shit ever.
Would be way more fun if they asked actual brain teasers.
You have 8 marbles. 7 of them weigh the same. 1 weighs slightly more. How do you find the one that weighs more with just two weighings with a balance scale?

Started a small discussion with a local media guy about a PF to pair with Cousins. He feels that you get a center and move Cousins to PF. I just don't like the idea of Boogie chasing stretch 4s on defense.
By etiolation Go To PostStarted a small discussion with a local media guy about a PF to pair with Cousins. He feels that you get a center and move Cousins to PF. I just don't like the idea of Boogie chasing stretch 4s on defense.You can. DMC is a C in the same way Duncan is. They're both natural PF's, but their game can let them play in either position.
The kings are worse off when DMC is on the bench, and so another quality big so you can have a proper rotation, and not be as concerned about foul trouble is nice.
Kings have bigger concerns though. Like overall talent level. They really should just draft BPA, then trade if they think it's a redundant position. They do need an upgrade at PG,PF, and all bench roles.

No shame in answering it wrong.
Plenty of shame in going, "o that's easy, 10 cents!"
I'll forget math procedure rules since math is not a common part of my life, but these are kids coming out of college. It should be fresh in their minds.
By Mamba Go To PostThat's not even a riddle. It's a simple algebra question.

Many people don't make it past "simple algebra." Honestly it's not really a great question. A better one is something like the Judgement of Solomon. A question of logic and problem solving.
